    Big Cat Cafe & 406 Saloon
    Libby H.

    Really cool restaurant right in the middle of downtown Darby, and it's also connected to the 406 Saloon. There's a middle area that has outdoor seating but a roof overhead which is where we sat and was perfect. We were told they recently vamped up their menu. Food was super good. I got the coconut shrimp with a side of white rice, my husband did the chicken strips & fries, and my stepdaughter did the mac & cheese. For dessert, we all did the chocolate lava cake. Everything was yummy and our waitress was nice. However it is pricey, our total meal was $77. My meal cost $28 basically, I thought the side of rice came with the entree because on the menu "a choice of a side" but it was added as an extra.

    Lunch stop going north on Hwy 93. Big Cat Cafe turned out to be a very nice surprise. So warm and toasty with a fire burning. Great service. Great food.

    Good food and good service! The atmosphere is awesome! Games in the yard for us, horseshoe and corn hole.

    The Chainsaw Burger with dude salad. Was really lovely.

    So I found this place road tripping in Montana when I cake through a cool little town. This place is super lovely and has a cool story. From one of the waitresses I found out this use to be a local saloon and another little bar/casino. So what they did was keep the rad saloon and removed the bar portion of the bar/casino to make an absolutely beautiful dining area and converted the casino portion the the lobby. It's all connected and done in a beautiful way. Really well done how they have kept the old rustic vibe of Montana yet wove in this new and modern beautiful addition. It just opened a month or so ago with all the changes apparently. It's an impressing place. Side note: there is horse shoe competition out in the outside portion of this place every Sunday at 3:00. What a cool thing. - Food: The waitress suggested a burger so I followed her call. The burger was super good and super fresh. Loved the burger. I was only able to eat halftime was so big. - Service: The service was wonderful and super nice and was constantly checking on me even though the place was pretty full. - Drinks: I just got one drink but man it was STRONG. So well done bartender/waitress. - Value: Great value. My massive burger with salad was only $10.75. My drinks were super cheap as well which is what you'd expect from a place like this. The total for the meal with a massive burger and two drinks was $19.00. That's some great value. - Location: The location is in a beautiful little town in the mountains and it the decor is just on point Overall, I'm really glad I was able to experience this place and suggest anyone in the area to do the same. Just a really lovely experiment.

    I'm giving this place a solid five stars for having extremely friendly service and good down to earth food. I was staying nearby, and admittedly there isn't much around here save for a few ranches, including the "Dutton Yellowstone Ranch" however the town of Darby was perfectly pleasant. I enjoyed some delicious loaded fries with thick cuts of bacon and queso; for a second, I thought I'd actually have a heart attack but thank goodness for ice cold beer to wash it all down. I highly recommend going with other people so you can try various things. Unfortunately the fries were soooo filling that I could hardly move after.

    See all

    406 Saloon - Philly burrito smothered with delicious queso and au jus.

    I had the Philly burrito and husband had a smash burger. Both were excellent. Honestly, it was some…read moreof the best food I'd had in a while. We sat in the indoor patio room and it was nice and toasty with a fire in the fireplace. Great selection of beers. Service was friendly and prompt. I don't know why this place has such poor reviews. I was skeptical going, but so glad I did. I'll definitely be back next time I'm thru town. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

    We stopped here once we arrived in town after a long 13 hour drive we were starving…read more I enjoyed being thrown back in time with the old western feel of this area. We walked in and wondered if it was even open. There were lights on but no one around. We walked over to the restaurant area there was one girl standing there. She didn't really acknowledge us at first. I wasn't sure if it was a seat yourself place or wait to be seated. After sitting about 10 min I was starting to wonder if the zombie apocalypse happened here. Luckily a few more people came in and sat down. It was just awkward. The girl finally came over and took our drink order. It took her forever to come back with some water. After ordering our food it took about 30 min to get it. I ordered the burnt end Mac n cheese per the waitresses recommendation. The burnt ends were decent. I did not care for the Mac n cheese much though. My husband and daughter both ordered burgers and really enjoyed them. The fries were really good too. My husband and daughter really liked this place , I wasn't too crazy about it but maybe it was just what I ordered. The prices were a bit on the higher side. The portions were average. I liked the large fire place in the center. It's a very nice place to eat if you arent in a hurry and just want to relax and enjoy some time with friends or family.
